5. You are now ready to transcribe the audio by using Dictation (voice typing)

Click on the green "Dictate" button. Once it turns orange, you can begin speaking.

Simply listen to the audio in a headphone and repeat what you hear in your own voice. Transcribe's fast &
highly accurate dictation engine will convert your voice to text.

We typically find this method to be 2-3x faster than typing.

While we work on improving the quality of fully-automated machine transcription,
you can leverage dictation as a time-saving technique.
We support English, Spanish, French, Hindi and almost all other European & Asian languages. Please read
this
detailed guide on converting your speech to text using dictation.

6. Transcribe audio by slowing it down

If you're unable to transcribe via voice typing, Transcribe's tightly integrated player & editor
can still halve the time it would have otherwise have taken you switching between a
media player and an editor, while juggling with a mouse and keyboard.

You can slow the audio down, listen to it and just type along. Be sure to use the handy keyboard
shortcuts mentioned in Step 4 to effortlessly control the audio playback to match your typing speed.

Transcribe will auto-save every keystroke. The transcribed text is stored in your browser and is
not sent to our servers. This data is persisted even if you restart your browser or computer as long as
you don't clear your browser's cookies or cache.

7. Use Templates and auto loop features for additional help

Be sure to explore the Templates feature using which you can set certain shortcuts to expand into longer
words or sentences. For eg, you can set "S1:" to expand to "Speaker 1:" automatically, when you type "S1: ".

You can also use the auto-loop feature to get the audio to automatically pause for a few seconds while
you type and then resume, without you having to press pause and play each time.

8. Configure a Foot Pedal for even more help

Using a foot pedal allows you to free up your hands to focus on typing while using your feet to control audio
playback.
If you do a lot of transcriptions or you're a professional transcriptionist, you can save yourself a lot of idle
time
using a foot pedal. Saving 2 seconds with every play/pause will quickly add up to a good increase in productivity,
allowing you to hyper-optimize your workflow and do more transcriptions in less time.

Transcribe supports the following foot pedals:

Infinity USB Foot Pedal

Olympus RS26, RS27, RS28

vPedal vP-1 USB pedal

After you load your audio, simply click on the foot pedal icon
in the audio toolbar to get started.

9. When you are done, export your transcript

When you are done transcribing, you can export the text as a .doc file to your computer -
just click the export icon in the toolbar above the editor. We affix the date and time to the end of the
downloaded file's name so you can easily track multiple versions of your work.
